Speaker: Jeff Inman, CTSP, Truetimber Arborists
We speak on standards as an industry and how we need to follow the shalls and mind the shoulds. Oftentimes, we find ourselves in a situation, especially when teaching, training and trying to enact change, where we interact with folks who aren’t all about following these standards. How do you interact with those individuals? How do you enter into a conversation about what you’re seeing vs what you know is written down? OSHA and the Z133 are a lot for folks to digest and often people throw their hands up saying, “I’ve done it for years and never had an issue. Why do I have to change just because that book says so? Because the safety person says so? I’m fine! Leave me be and let me work!”
This presentation dives into the heart of where our standards are born as well as how to interact with people to promote change in an organization.
